Experimental Framing & Limitation Notice > **IMPORTANT ARCHITECTURAL NOTICE:** > This baseline evaluates claim-only predictability. Because raw FEVER files contain Wikipedia sentence indices rather than embedded text, this model establishes the linguistic prior baseline (e.g. lexical cues and annotator artifacts in synthetic claims). It is **not** the final evidence-based verification model. --- ## 2.

Key Findings & Baseline Benchmark 1. **Linguistic Priors in FEVER:** The claim-only baseline achieves notable predictive power above majority-class random guessing (~33-54%), confirming known crowd-worker linguistic artifacts (e.g. specific negation words used when mutating claims to `REFUTES`). 2. **Need for Grounded Evidence:** While claim-only signals exist, true fact-checking requires external evidence verification. This baseline serves as the benchmark against which the Transformer Claim+Evidence model will be compared.
